We identified six emotional states: happy, angry, neutral, sad, disgust, and fear for our speech corpora. These are the most common emotional states used in Speech Emotion Recognition [1]}, [2]}, [3]}, [4]}, [5]}. Pertaining to the dataset development technique of TESS, the eleven speakers were asked to elicit emotional speech in which the emotions are simulated. It took approximately 30-40 hours to record each emotional state. During the recording sessions, 5-6 hours were alloted for practicing and calibrating the speaker's portrayal of each emotion. For recording each emotion, at least one male and one female were used to record the audio samples.
